Robert Freiman "Boats at Marina" Original Watercolor C.1970 Dimensions 16" wide x 12" high The period frame measures 26" wide x 22" high Signed in the lower right corner Good vintage condition Robert Freiman was born in March 1917 in New York City. Early in his childhood, his love for drawing, painting and studying became apparent, and as an adult, he continued his studies in New York at the National Academy of Design, Pratt Institute, the Art Students League and the Parsons School of Design. In Paris, he studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. Freiman was especially focused on painting portraits and figures in motion in various mediums, especially the mixed-media combination of watercolor, acrylic and pen. Among his subjects were acrobats, ballet dancers, cyclists and other athletes. In the latter part of his career, his style became abstract and surreal with images of metaphysical landscapes with architectural elements such as arches, towers, pyramids and castles floating in the air. His work is in the collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Connecticut Museum at New Britain and the Musee Municipal de St.Paul de Vence in France. A fine opportunity!
